Nao Trinidad

This tall ship docked in Wilmington yesterday - it has an interesting history:

The Nao Trinidad set sail from Seville, Spain on August 10, 1519 at the head of a fleet of five ships which, following its guidance, crossed the Atlantic, sailed along the coast of South America, discovered the Strait of Magellan and crossed the Pacific Ocean for the first time in history. After sailing more than 2 years the Trinidad sprang a leak, which prevented its return to Spain with the expeditions only other surviving ship—its companion, the Victoria. The Victoria did make it home, completing the First Sailing around the World just months later.

A beautiful day and a nice break from work mid day.
